Thank you, Shakopee!!!

We win!!!!

Thank you so much to everyone who voted for us, volunteered and donated to help move Shakopee forward! I am so very humbled by Shakopee’s response to our campaign I cannot express in words my gratitude to each and every one of you.

We began this campaign focusing on the future of Shakopee and a vision that creates connections within our diverse community while casting aside the notions of old vs. new, east vs. west, town vs. country, in favor of a vision promoting a positive future rather than dwelling on the past. This positive message lit a fire in Shakopee focusing on a new way of thinking that will move us forward.

The real work begins January 1. Shakopee will have a new feel in it’s government. It will be more collaborative, communicative and concerned with the residents of Shakopee. I need you all to stay active and informed about your government to keep moving forward. I will be using this email list to continue the conversation with you and get your opinions and ideas on our future. I welcome you to the process and am excited about our future!

The returns came slowly last night so I didn’t have a chance to thank all of the amazing people who worked so hard on our campaign. First and foremost, my wife and family. Katy is amazing, patient and kind, I love you and could not have done this without you, Jean and Ila! Second is Kevin (campaign manager), Jen and the Wetherille family. I have no idea how to thank you enough for all of the time, work and effort you put into our campaign. Thank you!
